Gen. Cabell yesterday asked Mr..
Ford House, chairman of tho Demo-
cratic Executive Committee to call a
Democratic Convention to nominate
candidate for Mayor and other city
officers. Mr. House will do so If a
number of the executive committee
request him to do so, but il will be
against Mr.. Houses better judgment.
lie doubtless remembers the Wafer
loo of last election, 0nf the fear
OF n like result this year
makes him doubt the wisdom OF n
convention, and well he may be.
Both Mayor Brown and Mr.. Ed c.
Smith have outlined their campaigns
and marshalled together their captains
and lieutenants and are forming their
lines. They have their campaign so
well organized that il would take a
very powerful force indeed to break
up The combinations, and it is the
HERALps opinion that IT would simply
be waste of ammunition. Had such
a step been taken month ago it
would have, perhaps, changed the
features of the campaign; at least the
chances OF electing a nominee would
have been vastly better than if one is
nominated now.

Odd Designs I'm JcweIry.
From the New York Mail.

niewelry there are many new designs.
Very large and heavy chased balls
and cubes are fashionable on queen
chains. Moonstone centre pieces, en-
graved md framed in diamonds,
make very rich lace pins. Enameled
orchids, violets, pinks, lilacs, and roses
are quite popular. The vioIets are
made up of sapphires, and are very
dainty. The pinks are formed OF ru-
bies, being very natural and ranging
from $3.50 to $3.50. White jessamines,
with delicate diamond leaves, bring
500, and white violets with dia-
mond centres, SO. Single violets
may be bought from $25 up, accord
ing to the size of the diamonds. Link
and chain bracelets are in demand,
with or without stones. The links are
of hammered gold, nugget gold, and
plain Etruscan gold. Some designs
for bracelets are very bizarre. Such
a one is the imitation of coffee beans,
the different colors being attained by
the use OF different alloys Of gold aud
platinum.

AstrOlogy and Fortune Telling.

Richard A. Proctor the eminent as.
tronomer has no patience with mod.
ern astrologers and fortune-tellers. In
ancient times, when popular krowl.
edge OF Astronomical and other laws
was very slight, it was not surprising
that the art of astrology flourish
ed. OF the modern article he remarks:
But the very circumstance that as.
trology, though superstition, was u
very natural and even reasonable
superstition in those old days, shows
what an unreasonable and foolish
superstition it is now. The very fact
that the old astrologers were for the
most part honest, though mistaken,
proves that the astrologer of to-day
must necessarily be a rogue and a
charlatan. For now men know how the
sun and the moon produce their effects
they know why Mercury seems shiity
and Venus lovely: how Mars comes to
look red and Jupiter bright and Sat.
urn yellow. That ruddy or ochre
tinge in the continents of Mars, never
less than 40,000,000 OF miles from us,
should have anything to do with war
and turmoils on the earth is an idea
which none but persons OF very weak
mind could for u moment entertain.
That because Venus travels inside the
earth,s track and, therefore can only
be seen during twilight, the loves OF
our boys and girls, our young men
and maidens, aye, and our men and
women who have passed the days OF
youth, mist be influenced by that sis.
ter world, never less then 10000, 900
ofmiles from us, lis a thought to prepos.
ferrous TO need contradiction. ard so
withthe splendor OF Jupiter, the gloom
oiSaturn and the swift movement OF
Mercury. The "astrologers" OF to-
day either know all this and make
lying pretense OF believing in planet
airy influences, or they are ignorant OF
it all and make lying pretense to
knowledge Be the case how it may,
they must OF necessity be lying knaves.
1t is the same nowadays with all or
ders OF fortune-tellers, character
readers. phrenologist ct idgenus omne.
Nothing but the ignorance which mis-
took itself for knowledge in the wise
old times could justify the claims put
forward by men OF these classes. In
our day there can be none who be-
lieve they know how to read the stars,
Tor those who alone knoS how TO cal
culate the movements OF the heavenly
bodies know that the supposed infu-
ences of these bodies were purely
and passed on merely fanci-
ful analogies. Among "astrologers"
there is no more knowledge OF astron-
omy than there is knowledge OF the
of the brain among 'phren.
ologists." The astrologer OF old
knew all the astronomy OF his time;
the astrologer OF today has writ
ten himself down "a cnarlatan and
is probably an INSCRIPTIONS rascal

squat in vacant lots They have no
hope in life, and consequently no am
bition.
Sad is the death ofthe little children
OF the city poor. A tiny coffin is hired,
a few flowers brought, and the little
funeral procession may consist only
OF the father carrying his dead baby
on his head, the another coming behind,
and perhaps, a brother of the dead
baby. Often the women do not 90
out TO the burying place, but only the
men OF the family. One day. in the
great plaza amid the din OF holiday
music and the life and animation OF u
crowded public place, saw II poor
woman, a widow. buying flowers to
put on her dead child's coffin, which
she alone, was to take on her head to
the graveyard. 1t was a pathetic
picture, not to be forgotten.
Above the grade OF the Indians and
the squatters on the vacant lots are
poor mechanics, the worst paid people
OF the class have ever seen. know
good compositors whose daily earn.
ings are fifty cents day, or forty
cents American money. have seen II
very fair carpenter. who did neat
Job, who told me he got but fifty cents
n day. And so it goes. And these
people have no idea OF labor unions,
OF strikes, or of doing any better in
the world. That is perhaps the most
hopeless aspect OF the case. Discon-
tent is a spur, and may lead to work
ingmen getting II fairer share OF what
they create by their toni. But no
Boston mechanic who should see these
people have described could consider
himself anythingless than apampered
son OF nineteenth century civilization

INDIANS INFATUATED.
The JustifaDle Killing of One OF Their

ALBUQUERQUE, n NJ, May IA special
from Gallup says: "A difficulty with a
Navajo Indian occurred yesterday morning
at Defiance station seven miles west of here

and an Indian. The latter sprang over the
counter to grasp Allen, who drew q pistol

owner of the store, and wife, who We're in

WILD WITH EXCITEMENT.
They We're wild with excitement, but
Borland succeeded in quieting them by Civ
ing up his weapons and telling the
Indians that he had come to trade with
them. Borland was finally permitted to go
on. In the meantime Allen and an old man
named Hans barricaded the floor over the
store to defend themselves from attack. The
Indians broke into the store, rifiing it of
everything valuable. An hour after q
freight train on the Atlantic and Pacific
road passed Defiance and Allen and Hans
ran for it under a heavy fire from the In
dlans Allen got on the train and came to
Gallup. Hans missed the train, but after

IN THE JAWS OF DEATH
HORRIBLE PREDICAMENT OF A
MAN ON A TRESTLE.

When Midway Across lightning Ex-
press Comes Rushing Down on Him
An Attempt to Drop Through and
Hang by His Hands Ends in His Being
Stuck Between the Orders With His
Head and Shoulders Exposed--The
Train Stops Three Feet Away.
THoMAsvILLE, GA, May 1.-THE New
Orleans express, leaving here at 1:47 p m.
on wednesday, was running along at the
rate of forty miles an hour between Cairo
and Whigham, when the engineer Jenkins
locomotive 69 on approaching Big Tide
creek discovered a man making his way
over the trestlework. Finding that he
would not have time to get across ahead Of
the swiftly approaching train, the man, a
between the ties so as to hold on by his
hands while the train should pass over him.
To the horror of the engineer, however, the
man caught by til waist and hung there
between the rails with his head
and shoulders sticking up, an object Of
certain destruction If the train should strike
him. Engineer Jenkins sprang Off his seat,
damned the air-brakes down as tightly as
they could be put on and reversed his huge
engine, one of the largest on the road, and
''pulled her open" The mans cries were
described as fearful as he hung there await
ing almost certain death, and his feelings
can'perhaps never be described. He must
have died mentally dozen times, but al
most miraculously the No. So came to a stop
kissing and trembling when the ponderous
cowcatcher was within three feet of the I'M
fortunate man. He was rescued from his
perilous position, and went his way re-
joicing at his almost miraculous escape. But
for Engineer Jenkins prompt and efficient
efforts and his care and watchfulness the
man, whose name is unknown, would have
died most horrible death. As it Is, he will
hardly care to venture upon such another
experiment as crossing trestle ahead of an
express train again soon
